I remember how excited I was when I got this first of two 1974 videos of two Journey shows at Winterland Ballroom. It was probably three or four years ago when these concerts surfaced on Wolfgang's Vault, and the videos that became available after that were all mp4 files sourced from the streaming video online. They're still lossy video files, but at the same time, they're good enough and the best available (and only) files to build DVD's from and that's what I did.

I'm hoping these concerts surface in a lossless, LPCM video and audio format someday because these are the earliest shows on video we have of Journey that have surfaced. I've always wondered if their 1973-12-31 show we have lossless audio of was recorded by Bill Graham's video taping crew? Many of these shows were filmed without the artist's concert or knowledge too. I'm not sure if this 1974-03-30 video or the 1974-05-26 video from the same venue were done this way or not, but it is really cool to have these early concert videos and watch them.

Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of this concert I'm uploading. I was too lazy to upload it yesterday, on its 40th anniversary, so here it is today.

Journey's pre-Perry music is like a roller-coaster ride to me. It's very similar in structure to a story in a book. The music starts out and gives listeners an idea of how the song (or plot) goes, it changes up as it builds in intensity and interest, and then bamg! The part you've been waiting to hear (or the climax) hits and blows you away. For me, that's usually Neal Schon's awesome guitar solo. And then after that, it tapers off to the ending which many times has a hidden story waiting to throw you off of what you expect in the ending. It changes a lot so you aren't really sure what to expect and I like that in a band, song, or story.

I wish Neal Schon would play some songs (be they old ones from the past or new ones) like he played them in Journey's early days. Some of his guitar work was astounding in these early years. I'm not saying it hasn't been astounding in later years too. But today, the live shows are missing that unexpected lightning strike of an awesome guitar solo and the fact they're playing their radio played (or overplayed) tunes in concerts only can become a little monotonous at times. Journey's concerts today, as well as many other bands from the past still playing live shows, need a good kick in the butt and something extra to change things up a little at times. I like the surprise of a good, unexpected solo or musical change-up in a song and I know Journey is capable of adding that to any song they chose too. Just check out Neal Schon's facial expressions as he takes off on a guitar piece in this show and you'll see he was playing from the heart and not just playing the same thing over and over again like he does nowadays. I'm not saying I don't like to go see Journey shows nowadays because I do. But I'd like to see the band go off their beaten path and do some ad-lib playing in each live show so that the song never remains the same live. I'm looking forward to seeing Journey again this May and already have the tickets for the show.

I went ahead and added a scan of my LightScribe CD artwork I burned onto the lossless version CD I have of this show. It'll work on a DVD too because "CD" is not written anywhere printable or transferable on the disc.

I hope you enjoy this free "free concert"...

Here's another excellent Led Zeppelin 1969 show and a much earlier one in their career than the last one too. Plus, as of this date and time, it's the first soundboard recording of the band that exists. Led Zeppelin had been calling themselves by that name (after fulfilling their New Yardbirds contractual obligation over a month or three) since October of 1968 I believe. So they were only Led Zeppelin for 3 months prior to this show. And to date, so far no New Yardbirds recordings have ever surfaced either.

I'm guessing this one may have been wrongly put out as the 1969-01-05 Whisky A Go-Go venue show at some point since the title reflects that venue. But the artwork has the correct information, so who knows (or really cares)?

This is an incomplete recording of the show but it is really excellent. I have other, more complete, versions of this show too in both audience and soundboard recordings (as well as audience/soundboard mixed recordings). But as I was browsing the Zeppelin shows for one to upload tonight, well, this one sort of jumped out at me. So here it is so it can jump out at you too :-)

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...

I've got a few lineages and labels of this show, but this time, I didn't do any comparisons before picking one. I just randomly picked this one, listened for a little bit, and decided to post it.

I wish Led Zeppelin had played "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" more after 1969, but they didn't. That's one song that you really do not hear too often if you aren't listening to a 1969 show.

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...

It's a shame that this isn't a superb recording with some of the songs Zeppelin played like "We're Gonna Groove" (a rare one) 44 years ago tonight. This is what you call a "good recording". If you're new to trading, don't get too excited. Good really equals "not too good sound-wise". When you finally hear a poor recording, you'll understand why this is good :-). Besides, there's no such thing as a bad Led Zeppelin show regardless of the sound.

This is a day early for the anniversary of the Houston part of the CD set (last two tracks on CD 2). But since it is all we have from Houston 1970, I guess TDOLZ decided to add it to the Dallas show. And I don't blame them a bit.

It's interesting that the only recording and label that seems to have ever released this show is The Diagrams of Led Zeppelin (TDOLZ). I got my first copy of this show in a trade back in the 1990's and probably haven't listened to it since the 1990's. But it deserves another listen today and I plan to give it one too!

The Houston part of the show, the last two tracks, does sound better. And there is a low generation copy of the same two tracks I got recently, but in reality, it doesn't seem to be an upgrade. It almost sounds like an EQ job done on the TDOLZ tracks, but it isn't.

I'm uploading this one today for the real Led Zeppelin fans who, regardless of quality, still like collecting each and every show they can. And I'm one of those fans myself!

I included my 2000 rear artwork with tabs creation in the upload. The original artwork was the type without the CD case side tabs with the content's information/description on them. See the back arwork image below if you're unsure what I'm referring to. I left the original high resolution artwork scan without the tabs in the upload too.

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...

Tonight, 39 years ago, Led Zeppelin wrapped up their last show in the United States for the next two years. After this show, they went home for a short break and then finished off their last five shows on their 1975 tour at home in England's Earl's Court.

This upload is the one I consider to be the best. It's the Winston Remasters two sources mix. The primary source, of course, is the Mike Millard 1st generation tapes and the second source is an unknown low generation source from another taper (Source 2). Source 2 is used to fill in any gaps in the Millard recording (i.e. as tapes were changed out). This is another superb recording as well as a superb remastering too.

The band added "Since I've Been Loving You" as well as "The Crunge" into this final US tour show on this night. I guess they were going out this night with a longer show and a "goodbye for a while" extended version of their show.Bootradr

This is a great recording of an Evanescence show that happened two years ago today. This show has some excellent vocals from singer Amy Lee that are up front and clean the whole show through. Thanks to "jce", the taper, for recording this show and sharing it soon after they record it.

Unfortunately, the recording does suffer some from over-driven bass as do many recordings of Evanescence shows (including my first 2006 Evanescence show/recording). I just turned down the sub-woofer on my system and it helps. The audio isn't poor, but it isn't excellent either. The audio is not over amplified or clipped as far as I can tell. It's just a matter of the equipment recording it, the settings, and Evanescence's heavy bass. Quieter songs sound much better than the heavier songs in this recording.

The band puts on a great show! And Australia has always been a country where this band has earned a huge following too. This is a very enjoyable show.

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...

This may be the best Mike Millard recording out of all of the many he made of Led Zeppelin shows! Thirty-nine years ago (and a few extra hours now), this show rocked the Los Angeles area.

I have a few other label's versions of this show and they all are pretty much superb + in quality. Some labels over EQ'ed the show, did this, did that, etc as they usually do. But even so, they all still sound great. But why take what some other person or label did to the show and share that when the best sounding source is the unaltered and unmarked 1st generation copy. And that's what I'm uploading here. It sounds like a soundboard it is so good and clean.LINEAGE:(1) Taping Gear: AKG mics, Nakamichi 550 cassette deck(2) 1st gen cassettes (TDK SA 90)x3 > Nakamichi 670 pitch & azimuth-adjusted playback deck > Nakamichi Outboard Dolby B Unit > Wavelab 96/24 > Izotope 44.1/16 > FLAC > me > you

Mike Millard reportedly kept a notebook of how he marked each tape he passed out to friends so if they ever showed up being sold by a label, or by anyone for that matter, he could tell where it came from. He might make a slight volume adjustment for a second in a certain spot of a song on one tape, do something slightly different to another tape's audio, etc before he passed them out to friends. He never ruined a show's recording or did anything to destroy the show or audio on his recordings. He just tried to make it where if someone did break their word he could tell who it was. But as we all know, his efforts to do this were in vain because his tapes, from a variety of sources, all seemed to eventually make their way to the Empress Valley Supreme Disc's, Godfather Records', etc labels through the years.

But what is unique about this set of 1st generation Millard tapes that were transferred unaltered by JEMS in 2010 is they are unmarked tapes! No volume fluctuations, no marks whatsoever; just a copy of the master tapes is what we have here and one that is a digital transfer at that. In short, we have the best (well, second best since his family still has the masters likely).

I left the file set just as it was shared back in 2010. The songs are titled, there is no artwork, there is a file fingerprint (ffp) file, and there is a short text file with lineage information and some of what I have said here in this post. I added nothing and took nothing away (other than hours of listening enjoyment).

I love this show and I know you will too if you like Led Zeppelin...Bootradr

This is a show I'd planed on uploading yesterday, on its 36th anniversary, but I didn't. This is one of my first silver CD Journey shows I got many years ago and it's from when Steve Perry was still very new in the band. He even gets introduced (a few songs in and when he finally starts singing) as the new member of the band.

One thing I really love about the 1978 - 1981 Journey live shows is how the band would play songs from before they had Steve Perry, songs that Gregg Rolie normally sang alone on, and they'd implement some harmony with Perry and Rolie singing. It really brought those songs to life in my opinion. They really did this most often between 1978 and 1979 too. Songs that were officially released on earlier Journey albums and never got recorded (in a studio) with Steve Perry also singing on them makes them very unique.

This is a great recording, and even though there is no mention of it being an FM radio broadcast, collectors over the years have confirmed it is. The sound is not perfect, but it is still great. And once you get to "Wheel In The Sky", you may notice the audio gets better. It is almost as if Dolby noise reduction was turned on throughout the show's recording and then turned off (you normally do not want to use Dolby NR). I'm not saying that's the case in this recording but it does represent what it sounds like to me.

If you like excellent music (Journey), you will love this show. It's a great piece of 36 year old history and very enjoyable listening material too. And Journey only got better from this point on too in their live shows with Steve Perry. They really improved on the Gregg Rolie and Steve Perry (as well as other band members) harmony in shows after this one. In fact, I may be wrong and I'll have to double check my information, but this may be Steve Perry's first live recording/show with Journey too. I just looked at my list and this is definitely the first show I have with Perry on vocals.

I had planned on uploading the Led Zeppelin Los Angeles 1977-03-24 Mike Millard master 3 CD set yesterday as well as this show since it was the anniversary of both. But I'm getting a little burned out on uploading shows lately and I took the day off. I may or may not upload the Zeppelin show from yesterday, the superb 1975-03-25 Mike Millard Los Angeles Zeppelin show from 39 years ago today, and the superb 1978-03-25 New York Journey show from 36 years ago today too? I just don't know at this point.

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...

Here's an excellent capture of the Austin The Firm show 29 years ago tonight. This is a great show, excellent audience recording, but it is incomplete. My guess is the taper ran out of tape?

I was going to go to this show myself but was unable to make it due to my job (and the 200+ mile drive from Houston). I'm hoping to find a recording some day of the Houston show from an audience perspective too. I was at that show but didn't have any taping equipment to record it myself at the time unfortunately.

The person who recently shared this show on Dime mentioned they believe it may be a 1st generation copy from the master tape. But they didn't know for sure. It sounds very much like it could have been too. It's obvious the taper didn't get the complete show (or at least share it). I uploaded the superb soundboard of this show a while back and it has the the full, complete show and can be found here on my site. This recording is one you should still enjoy even if you have the soundboard version too. The soundboard version for this Austin 1985 show can be found here.

I was going to upload the partial Houston soundboard from the previous night last night, but I got busy and never got to do it. If anyone wants that one too, just leave me a comment and I'll upload it when I get a chance (soon).

I hope you enjoy this night from 1985...

Here's another excellent Zeppelin show from from 39 years ago today. There are a ton of versions/labels for this show but this one is the best in my opinion. And it's in the DVD-A (DVD Audio) format too and has a slideshow of photos from the show as the music plays. Plus, it's at a higher sample rate (48 kHz) and higher bitrate (24 bit) too giving us higher quality audio. This is likely the definitive edition for this show!

Both sources mixed and edited at 24bit / 96000kHz. Mix WAV files were downsampled to 24bit / 48000kHz and authored to NTSC DVD video with a slideshow of pictures from this concert using TMPGEnc DVD Author 3.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
* Source 2 used to patch in part of the introduction
** Source 2 used to patch in missing section between reel change for Source 1
*** Source 2 used to patch in where Source 1 ends during "Stairway To Heaven" until the end of the show

The majority of this show is the Source 1 recording. Source 2 was used to fill in gaps missing from Source 1 such as those when the master reels (tapes) were being changed. The information above, as well as the text file from the original uploader, explains things in more detail.

Rather than waste time by creating my own text and checksum files, I uploaded the file set exactly the same way as I got it. I was gone much of the day today and figured it'd be a lot quicker to just upload the file set the way it was while I was gone and not wait until I got home, organized things the way I like them organized, and then start uploading the show.

The original sharer put the md5 checksum file into the VIDEO_TS folder. With most DVD burning programs that isn't an issue at all. But there are some programs that won't burn a DVD with that file in the main video folder. But it's no problem. All you have to do is move the file titled "VIDEO_TS.md5" and put it anywhere (like in the EXTRAS_TS folder for instance) outside of the VIDEO_TS folder. And if you want to run the checksum file, to verify the file set's contents, just add it back to the VIDEO_TS folder and check it from there.

I hope you enjoy this gem from 39 years ago...

Here's superb soundboard recording from Zeppelin as they moved up into Western Canada 39 years ago today. As a matter of fact, I'm uploading the Liquid Led 6 CD set of both the 1975-03-19 and 1975-03-20 soundboards.

These two Vancouver shows came after the band's previous week California shows in 1975 finished off and before the bands California shows took off again withing the next week (second leg of California playing...and Seattle, WA too). After Zeppelin finished up in Canada, they returned to the USA and had multiple shows in Seattle and the whole Los Angeles/San Diego areas (as you'll hear soon enough).

A few of these soundboard recordings have been around many years. But a few have also recently surfaced over the last few years. And all are in superb condition as far as the audio and performances go. The sound of both of these Vancouver shows is incredible. And I've been becoming a much bigger fan of the Liquid Led label recordings lately too. They seem to be mastering their shows much better than Tarantura, EVSD, etc, etc labels on so many of the recordings I've been listening to lately.

In order to get this show on the road, I'm not adding anything to this already complete set. It's not organized and named the way I do my own uploads, but so what! The music is what is most important and it's all there. One example is, there are no song titles and just the "Track01, Track02, etc" format for the file names and I like naming and embedding the track titles normally so they can be shown on a player's display with that capability. There are a ton of high resolution scans of the artwork for this 6 CD set included too.

I have a doctor appointment and a few other things going on tomorrow, so it probably works out well that I am uploading the show from 39 years ago today as well as 38 years, 364 days ago today :-) Who knows if I'll be uploading anything tomorrow or not? I have no real plans, just a few responsibilities I have to take care of.

I uploaded the EVSD version of the 1975-03-20 show almost two years ago. It also sounds superb, but to me, not "as superb" as this Liquid Led version I'm sharing today. If you want to check it out and download it too, just download the show titled Snowblind by clicking on the html link. It's the word "Snowblind" in red, bold, and underlined text in the previous sentence and it will take you to the page for that entry..

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...

This is an excellent soundboard of the Heart show at the Californis Jam II (or Cal Jam II) 36 years ago today. I got this Kodak Gold CD-R in a trade back around 1998 and dug it out this morning to do an EAC rip of the disc and upload it. This was Heart's tour on their third LP that had been released, Dog & Butterfly, on the Portrait record label and the girls were in fine form for this show (as they always are). It's a great concert.

Man, this is starting to tick me off as I rip many of my old days CD-R trade discs. This one is testing lossy with TLH. The fact that all tracks indicate the probability of an MPEG stream in the 95% range is is real good indicator this one will be lossy sourced. I'm starting to realize many traders were not keeping their word back in the early days of CD-R trading by not using mp3 materials. Any reputable trader would not send a lossy sourced disc to you claiming it's lossless! I understand many people might not have known the difference since mp3's were fairly new back then. But don't claim you do if you don't know. Lossy mp3 audio was a "no-no" amongst most traders and that might explain why I'm having issues with so many of the discs I've been burning with EAC (primarily errors). Between cheap media (discs) and lossy audio formats, it's a wonder any of these discs are still working (a lot aren't). I apologize for this because until now I didn't ever realize this disc was lossy. Otherwise, I'd have never bothered with burning it and uploading it oday!

Once again, Trader's Little Helper, while an excellent program for the many, many features and tools it has, is not very good at analyzing lossiness. However, with the test results being this strong (see the TLH CDDA Test text file I included), I'd be willing to bet this one came from an MPEG lossy source! People, please don't ruin your music by converting it to mp3 format unless you keep the lossless format for when you do share and trade it! You may not realize it now, but one day you'll wish you hadn't depended on mp3 audio (like when you cannot listen to it anymore due to errors).

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...

I have a few other versions of this show like the Winston Remaster, master tape transfer, and a few other labels. But as of tjis morning, as I tired listening to the various versions to pick the best, I'm having some sort of error on the external drive they're on right now. I haven't had a chance to get them over to the primary and backup drives my Led Zeppelin music is stored on yet. I don't know what's going on? I've just finished running Disk Defrag on the 3 TB drive having issues and I'm running a maintenance program now on that PC and its drives. I hope to be able to eventually get these shows (550 GB worth) that aren't backed up yet working and useable again soon. If and once I do, I'll upload the Winston Remaster version of this show which sounds the very best to me.

This Led Note version of the show sounds excellent too, so there should be no worry about getting a copy that doesn't sound good. This is a very good audience recording and one true Zeppelin fans will enjoy.

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...

This is an excellent sounding show Led Zeppelin did 41 years ago
today. This is the EVSD version I'm uploading and they did an excellent
job on this audience/soundboard recording. The audience recording
itself is excellent and the soundboard part is on CD 2 and begins during the first part of "Stairway To Heaven".

I'm hoping to also upload my John Paul
Jones show from 14 years ago today when I got to meet him and got a lot
of excellent pictures during and after the show. I'm ripping it with
EAC right now (and have been for the last 30 hours). It has some disc
one errors that EAC is fixing and burning to my hard drive. It's on the
second from last track on the problem disc now, but that still means it
is likely to be a while before it finishes the burn and error
correction. If I don't get it uploaded today, I will soon enough.

SETLIST:
CD 1:
101. Rock And Roll
102. Over he Hills And Far Away
103. Black Dog
104. Misty Mountain Hop
105. Since I've Been Loving You
106. Dancing Days
107. Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp
108. The Song Remains The Same
109. The Rain Song

There's only one thing I don't like about the European dates in
Zeppelin's 1973 tour. They weren't playing "No Quarter", one of my
favorite songs, on this tour until they got to America and the shows
became longer shows.

This is really a great sounding show both
musically and audio-wise. Whoever recorded it did a superb job and it
is very evenly mixed. It sounds like a soundboard after the taper got
the settings and microphone set right. The first song starts off a
little distorted and bad sounding but that gets corrected almost
instantly. I'm listening to the show right now as I make this upload
and it is one all Zeppelin fans should really enjoy.

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...

This is a recording of John Paul Jones during his Texas leg of his Zooma tour in 2000, fourteen years ago today. I got this disc in trade in 2000. The show sounds good, but it is over amplified at times especially when the bass and music gets more heavier in sound. And to top it off, I may have an MPEG (or lossy) source here I just determined after my EAC rip of this show.

As I've stated in previous, uncertain lossy or lossless uploads, Trader's Little Helper is not very reliable when testing for lossiness. Unless it's an across the board "CDDA" or "MPEG" result, you really have to dig deeper and I still am learning to do that. In each CD foler I included (as I always do) the TLH CDDA Test text file. If anyone care to or knows how to do an accurate FA/SA to read the charts and see whether this is a lossy source or not, please do and leave a comment.

This show was one night before I saw John Paul Jones and got to meet him after the show too. That night's recording I'll be uploading tomorrow most likely with additional details. And it is an excellent recording done by a friend (another Zeppelin trader/collector) I met that night. Tune in tomorrow for that show.

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...

It was 45 years ago today that Led Zeppelin played these two shows in Denmark. There was an afternoon show in Gladsaxe, Denmark and then an evening show in Norregard, Denmark. Of course, these weren't the three to almost 4 hours shows they played in later years. But these were high energy, new band playing at full throttle shows from when Led Zeppelin was about six months old as a band.

I have a feeling the second, evening show ran on longer but just wasn't recorded. But then again, I'm not sure? EVSD reportedly took copies of the master recording (which I have too) for the evening show and at least the second generation copy (which I also have) too from when they were treed on RFD. EVSD supposedly used those to complete their release. It wouldn't be the first time a bootleg label has done that and I'm sure it won't be the last. I'd thought about uploading the master and second generation versions of each show separately. But since this is already grouped as one CD, has artwork, and is ready to upload, I'm uploading the EVSD version. I can always upload other versions/lineage recordings later if anyone's interested in them.

I hope you enjoy the concert! Until next time...
